SCC Women's Basketball Goes 1-2 at NWAACC Crossover

The Lady Dolphins opened the NWAACC Crossover at Wenatchee Valley Community College in a bad way, meeting a tough Columbia Basin College team in the first round and being bounced by the Lady Hawks, 78-35. SCC struggled on offense, only scoring 15 points at half and shooting only 24% for the game.

Jenny Voss was the only SCC player in double figures, scoring 11 points and leading the team in rebounds with 8.

On the second day of the tournament, SCC played Highline Community College and came away with a tough 65-63 victory as Voss hit two free-throws with 26 seconds left in the game and the SCC defense held off HCC in their last attempt to score to pull out the victory.

Voss lead the team with 20 points and 5 steals. Jenny scored 7 of her 20 points from the free-throw line. Gnanamani Hooyman scored 13, Caitlin Roussopulus added 11 and Tess Cathey 10 for the Lady Dolphins in a balanced scoring attack.

SCC faced Centralia College on Sunday and the Lady Dolphins fell 78-44 as the lack of depth (SCC played with only 7 players this weekend) took its toll and the SCC squad fell behind and never could rally on exhausted legs. SCC only shot 28% from the field and was out rebounded 51 to 29.

SCC is now 5-3 on the season, the best start for the Dolphins in over five years. SCC now will take a Christmas break and return to action at South Puget Sound CC in Olympic, WA on January 30th at 6:00 PM and then opens NWAACC Northern Region play on Wednesday, January 4th at Skagit Valley College. SCC returns home on January 7th to face Olympic College in the SCC Gym.
